Chapter 66 chapter Five

The deeds of the venerable boy of Pagoda Grande Guai grew up day by day, seeing more and more sensible, his father was very happy because of the natural fatherly love.Because he was still young at the time, his father asked someone to make him a slingshot, and let him chase birds to play with. This slingshot is the weapon now known as the "Chantel Grand Crossbow".Later, he was sent to school to study, where he spent his teenage years. Sure enough, he went to Poitiers to study, and made rapid progress.There he felt sorry for the students who sometimes had nothing to do and did not know how to spend their time.So one day, he moved down from a big cave called Paslurdan ③ a big stone about twelve "twaz" square and fourteen "side" thick, and placed it gently on the ground. On the four pillars in a field, students are asked to go to this stone to drink wine, eat ham, and eat steamed buns when they have nothing to do, and to carve their names on it with a knife; now everyone calls this stone "" Gao Shi" ④.To commemorate this event, it is still the case until now. If you don’t drink the spring water of Crustel ⑤ Horseshoe Spring ⑥, go to Paslurdan, and go to the “High Rock”, you can’t think of being in Poiti. Register at the University of Egypt.

Later, in the magnificent biography of his ancestor, Paiguguet read that Geoffoy of Lusignan, known as "Geoffoy with the Big Tooth", was the sister of his stepmother's daughter-in-law's uncle's son-in-law's aunt. The grandfather of my cousin's husband was buried in Ma Yezai ⑨.So he invited the campos for a day, and went to pay his respects solemnly.He set off from Poitiers with a few classmates, visited Abbot Ardion through Le Gouger, and walked through Lucignan, Sancer ③, Celle ④, Collonge ⑤, Fontenay Le ? Conte ⑥, where he visited the learned Tiraco ⑦, and then went to Ma Yezai from there.In Ma Yezai, he paid homage to the cemetery of "Big Tooth Reoffoir".He was a little frightened at the sight of the portrait of the dead man, for it showed a man of savagery, drawing his machete from its sheath, and when he asked what it meant, the local priest told him that it meant nothing but Pictoribus atque Poetis, etc. ⑧, that is to say, painters and poets do as they please.But Paiguguet was not satisfied with this reply, and said:

"There is no reason for this painting. I suspect that someone offended him when he died, and he asked his relatives to avenge him. I will investigate carefully and see what should be done." ① Chantel: the name of the castle. ② Poitiers: In the southwest of Paris, there was the most famous Poitiers University in France at that time, with 4,000 students. ③ Passluerdan: A cave on the Moloch cliff southeast of Poitiers. ④ This stone was broken in the 18th century, and now in a park, it is not as big as the author said. ⑤ Crustel: The name of the village, six kilometers away from Poitiers.

See Chapters Nine and Ten of Horace's "The Art of Poetry". Later, he did not go back to Poitier, he wanted to visit other universities in France.From there he went to La Loscher, and from La Loscher to Bordeaux by sea.In Bordeaux he saw nothing remarkable except some loaded sailors playing cards on the sand. From Bordeaux, he came to Toulouse, where he learned to dance very well, and at the same time he learned to dance the sword, which is a martial art popular among the students there; When he was burned alive, he didn't want to be there anymore, and he said:

"God will never let me die like this again, because I was born thirsty enough, and I don't need to be heated any more!" Then he came to Montpellier, where there were fine wines from Mirfu, and companions who would not make you lonely; so he wanted to study medicine there, but he found this profession too boring. People, too melancholy, doctors have a kind of enema ghost smell. So he wanted to study law, but seeing only three bald-headed jurists there, he walked away again.In less than three hours he passed the Pont du Carré and the amphitheater of Nîmes, whose architecture is so ingenious that it hardly seems artificial.He came to Avignon ⑦, where he didn't stay for three days, he already thought of love, because the local women like to tie their buttocks tight, so this is the Pope's area ⑧!

Ebisdemon, the master of Panegure, seeing this, took him away from there to Valencia in the province of Dauphine; but he saw nothing interesting in Valencia, and there The bastard teacher even beat the students, and Pontuguet was really angry; one Sunday, when everyone was dancing in public, a student wanted to dance, but the rascals didn't allow him to participate.Paiguguet saw them, and drove them up to the Rhone, intending to drown them all; but they burrowed like moles into a hole in the bottom of the Rhone, half a mile deep, and hid themselves. .That hole is still visible to this day.

Later, he left there again, and came to Angers in three steps. He felt very good in Angers, and if the plague hadn't made them walk, he would have stayed there a little longer. Then he came to Bourges, where he studied for a long time at the Faculty of Law, and benefited a lot.He used to say that he thought the law books were like a decent golden robe, beautiful and luxurious, but the flowers on it were dung. "Because," said he, "there is nothing in the world more beautiful, neater, or more refined than the Proceedings of Jurisprudence; but the supporting things, in other words, the notes of Agurtius, are really dirty, It's smelly, it's nasty, it's just vile and shameless."

Leaving Bourges, Paiguguet came to Orleans, where he met many stout pupils, who welcomed him with a banquet; and in a short time he learned to play with them, and played well from behind, In fact, the students there were originally good at ball games②.Sometimes, they often take him to the island to play woodball.He pays attention not to exhaust his mind with his studies, lest his eyesight will be weakened by fatigue. A teacher used to say that there is nothing more harmful to eyesight than eye disease.One day, one of the students he knew got a bachelor of law. He was not special in learning, but he was very good at dancing and playing ball. So Paiguguay made a badge for the bachelors in the university, and The following inscriptions: There is a ball in the trouser pocket, a racket in hand, a tie ④ represents legal knowledge, and dancing stunts with the sound of heels, this is the symbol of a doctor of laws. ⑧ Orleans: The name of the city.
